Chess is a classic strategy board game where the objective is to checkmate your opponent's king, which means it is under attack and has no legal move. Each player starts the game with a set of 16 pieces, 8 pawns, 2 rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops, a queen, and a king. Each type of piece moves and attacks differently, and no two pieces can occupy the same space.
